November 21

Remus, Severus and Harry quietly made their way through the woods. Athnamy hurried a head of them sniffing the forest. They had tried to make it stay in the castle but it managed to get out and catch up with them. They had been traveling for four hours, three on broom the other hour on foot. Athnamy suddenly appeared in front of them and gave a soft yip.

"Where almost there." Harry said, "Athnamy's found her."

The cold hands of Voldemort roughly awakened Melody.

"What's going on?" she asked frightened by the angry look in Lord Voldemort's eyes.

His hand landed across her cheek in a flash sending her sprawling to the ground.

"When did you remember!?" He hissed, grabbing her hair and pulling her neck back.

She cried out in pain.

He pulled back harder and wrapped and arms around her waist jerking her up against him.

"When!?" he cried.

"W-what are you talking about!?" she whimpered.

He pulled her hair harder, "You know what I'm talking about! You sent him! You told him where you were. Tell me when did you remember. How?!"

"My-my Lord, I-" she hissed in pain as he pulled harder her heart beat frantically. What was going on?

"You're coming with me." He growled, and in an instant they were gone.

The last Death Eater fell with a red flash from Remus's wand and he crumpled to the floor in exhaustion. Severus had already collapsed in the fight. But Harry, Harry was now where. Remus dragged himself to his feet. He knew where Harry was. He wasn't letting Harry fight Voldemort alone.

The dungeons were dark and gloomy. Harry shuddered, he could feel all the death and evil that had occurred in each of the cells. He could hear a muffled cry and followed it along with the increasing pain of his forehead.

Then a word was spoken reaching his ears in a whisper, instantly stopping his heart and chilling his blood never the less.

"Crucio."

Her screams filled the air and Harry ran. His heart pounded with each tortured scream and he could almost feel the pain. He ran down a set spiral stairs, the screams getting louder and louder and then they stopped. He skidded to a halt at the bottom of the stairs. Voldemort stood on his right facing a crumpled mass of white.

He looked over at Harry a grin on his face, "Glade to see you join us Harry." He said coldly.

"Darling why don't you say Hi to your friend Harry."

Harry froze hearing the endearment spoken. Slowly the crumpled figure stood. Her limbs shook with the effort her hair was a tangled mass sticking up here and there. Her eyes were dull and she stared ahead unseeing. In her hand instead of a wand was a sharp silver dagger.

"Hello Harry." She said her voice a void of emotion.

"Come here." Voldemort said. She walked across the dungeon obediently and stood in front of him.

Voldemort held up a gold clock on long chain.

"This is what we've been working on these past weeks. She's been helping me." He said mockingly. The look of fondness on Voldemort's face turned Harry's stomach. He slipped the chain over her head and it settled around her neck.

"We're going to go visit her time," He smiled, sending a shiver down Harry's spin, "But first a parting gift."

Melody turned and looked at Harry. Harry noticed awareness return to her eyes as she made her way towards Harry.

Three steps away from Voldemort the dagger clattered to the floor. Tears were streaming down her face, "Harry!" she cried in a mix of horror and relief and took another step towards him.

Voldemort didn't even blink in surprise he reached out and grabbed her his eyes blazing furiously.

"Let me go!" she cried struggling against his grip. He pulled her towards him. She stepped on his foot angrily and then kneed him between the legs.

He grunted in pain and the grip on Melody and his wand loosened. Melody quickly turned kicked the wand out of his hand twisted out of his grasp and ran to Harry. Voldemort's wand clattered to the ground and slide across the room into darkness. She grabbed Harry's hand and tugged him towards the door, "We need to get out of here." She said urgently.

Harry gently detached his hand from hers and stepped away his eyes never leaving Voldemort's rising figure.

"No, Melody. This has to finish. He's done too much to endanger those I love. I have to finish this now."

Voldemort drew up to his intimidating height and took a step towards Harry, "Yes Harry. Defeat me now. Wandless, I'm an easy target am I not?"

Harry narrowed his eyes, "Find your wand Voldemort. This will be done properly, even if you don't deserve it."

"No need for a wand Harry."

"NOO!" Melody screamed and jumped in front of Harry.

She doubled over and Harry only then realized what Voldemort had intended to do.

"No! Melody." He cried stepping towards her.

Voldemort stood above her shocked as well at the self-sacrifice. She stood up strait hatred blazing in her eyes. In her hand was the bloodied blade.

In a flash the dagger was imbedded in Voldemort's chest and with a look of angry surprise he stumbled backwards. Blood dripped from his mouth as he fell to his knees. His eyes rolled back in his head and Voldemort was no more.

Melody stood looking at the bloodied blade in her hand a mix of hers and Voldemorts. One hand clutched her stomach were the knife had struck. Blood leaked from between her fingers and stained her white dress. She looked up at Harry letting the dagger clatter to the ground once more.

Harry took a step towards her, "Melody we need to get to a hospital."

She shook her head and backed away, "I can't come back with you Harry."

He looked at her confused, "Why not?"

Tears streamed down her face and she sobed the hissed in pain, "I don't belong here Harry. This isn't my time."

"No Melody, don't say that. Of course this is your time. You're father is here." He took another step towards her and looked at her pleadingly, "I'm here."

She shook her head.

Loud footsteps were comeing closer and they both heard Remus's voice call.

Harry looked towards the stairs then back. She was gone.

"Melody!" he cried. He felt his heart shred, she was gone, she left.
